1.  I do not have your scoring sheets for the interviews yet.  As such, we cannot really work on the thank you letters.  "How to Write a Thank You Letter After an Interview" clip on youtube.
I hope that today I will be receiving those and you can then work on them. In the mean time, we will revisit the job you choose with the below worksheet and then work on the education necessary to get the job or the education you might need to further yourself in that career!

2.  I want one last look at the career you looked at and used as the basis for your resume:
Worksheet Researching Occupations...  Google Docs Worksheet
Make a copy of it and then go to CIS

3.  We won't get to this today, but I want you to have a heads up.  Link "Why College?".  Make a copy of the document to be filled in.

"A" = 4 colleges, universities, trade schools, military or other "learning institutions".
"B" = 3 of the same
"C" = 2 of the same

2.  I will also be doing "participation" points for this activity.  If I see that you have done all of your research for the rest of your life in less than 2 periods, then you are not really giving the assignment any type of evaluation and as such I will deduct points for work being done.

1. Section 3 of our key curriculum: Post-secondary Education
   Lookup Programs of Study for your career choice in CIS
   Complete the handout as directed. "Why College?"
2. Complete 3 slides related to post-secondary planning--
   Create a high school course plan- see example.
   Create a post-secondary course plan.
   Summarize in a table your findings about each school researched. 

How to do it?  Go to CIS, sign in.  Go to "Occupations"; "Explore Occupations" and select the occupation you used for your Summary in your resume.  On the left side, go down until you see the "Programs of Study"; select which one.  Select the area of your occupation you are interested in.  On the left side column, choose "Oregon Schools" or "US Schools" to explore and complete the "Why College?" template provided above.

You have to explore at least two schools even if you do not plan on attending a higher institution.  Things happen... sometimes for the better...sometimes for the worse.  You need to be prepared!

I will also be doing "participation" points for this activity.  If I see that you have done all of your research for the rest of your life in less than 2 periods, then you are not really giving the assignment any type of evaluation and as such I will deduct points for work being done.
